Latest news on Harrogate Town, covering fixtures, results, transfers, match reports and National League updates on the Sulphurites at Wetherby Road.

Harrogate Town AFC is a professional football club from the North Yorkshire spa town of Harrogate. Known as the Sulphurites, a nickname drawn from the town's famous sulphur springs, the club plays in black and yellow at Wetherby Road, its home since 1920. Harrogate returned to the National League in 2026 after six seasons in the English Football League.

The club's rise remains one of modern football's great success stories. Full-time professionalism arrived in 2017, promotion from National League North followed in 2018, and a 3-1 win over Notts County in the 2020 play-off final at Wembley secured Football League status for the first time. Harrogate also lifted the FA Trophy at Wembley, beating Concord Rangers in a final delayed until 2021.

Relegation from League Two on the final day of the 2025-26 season ended that EFL chapter, setting up a new era back in non-league football. Our feed tracks every twist, from transfer news and squad changes to National League fixtures, results and any renewed push for promotion, along with FA Cup and FA Trophy runs.

Community sits at the heart of the club. The Weaver family's long stewardship transformed Harrogate Town from a modest non-league outfit into a professional operation with a thriving academy and an active Community Foundation. Matchdays at the compact 5,000-capacity Wetherby Road ground, next to Harrogate District Hospital, retain a distinctly local, family-friendly feel.

Founded in 1914, the club played its first competitive fixture in 1919 after the First World War halted its original plans. Decades in the Yorkshire League, Northern Counties East League and Northern Premier League followed before the climb through Conference North and the National League brought unprecedented success.
